Ok, I know this echo is for computers, but I figure the old Atari 2600
stuff ¨kind of fits here too.. sort of.. :)

I picked up 3 games carts at the used game store last week... One works
¨fine from what I can tell, Space Shuttle, but got to find a manual for it,
¨I'm sure that won't be too hard.


The other two aren't so hot..


Sky Jinx International Edition, needs to be pulled out slightly to work...
¨Is the International Edition something special??


And Star Wars Jedi Area just scrolls fast when I turn it on.


I've cleaned all the carts.  rubbing alcohol first, then the two that are
¨having trouble with contact cleaner on a cotton swab.  In fact Sky Jinx
¨didn't start at all until I had at it with contact cleaner..  But that
isn't ¨helping Jedi Arena.. :?   I'll give  them both another shot of
contact ¨cleaner and cotton swab later, but was wondering if anybody had
any thoughts ¨on the scroll issue?


thanks
